We're going to do another tune in the key of E, where you can use the blues box.
And this is an old Lieber Stoller song called I'm a Hog for You Baby that the Coasters did.
And the original recording has a famous one -note solo that goes on for about 16 bars of a single note.
Actually, you could say it's a couple notes because he's bending up to the note.
This time, instead of using the power chords, we're going to do some variations of them.
All our chord families that we've done so far in the key of G or E have had six-string root-one chords.
Now we're going to use a fifth-string root-one chord.
Instead of using this fifth-string root-power chord, I'm going to throw a curve at you.
This is kind of an R&B tune, and here's a good R&B chord for you.
It's this [Bm] ninth chord.
[Gb] It resembles the B seventh chord in the first position.
If you were to take your B seventh chord and remove your little finger and then drag your ring finger down so it covers one, two, [B] and three,
you'd have a B nine.
And this is the B note, so the fifth string is the root of this chord.
If we play it [E] up here at the seventh fret where you've got an E note, that's an E nine.
[Bm] And that's what key we're in, is E.
[D] An E ninth chord is just a variation of an E seventh chord, in other [Ab] words.
And in a lot of R&B and blues tunes, you use [Db] all seventh chords or [Ab] ninth [A] chords, like this one, for instance.
So we've got a one chord and we've got a four chord right here.
This is [Em] just like your full A chord, except I've taken the pinky out to [F] make it into an A seventh.
[A]
[B] And then you move it up two frets and you get your five chord.
So remember in our Louie [E] Louie thing, we had a one, four, five pattern that looked like this?
[A]
[E] Now we've got a one, four, five pattern that looks like this.
[B] One, four, five, [E] as in, you could do it that way [E] too.
[B] And [E] that's your Louie Louie check that you do always to find out whether you've got a coherent one, four, five chord family.
Now, remember we're not using power chords in this tune, we're using one, four, [A] and [B] five.
[E] [Bm] So here's a little bit of I'm a [E] Hog for You Baby.
It's [Bm] a very [E] sentimental song.
It goes, I'm a [Bm] hog for you, baby, [E] can't [Bm] get enough of your love.
[A] I'm a hog for you, baby, can't get enough of your [Bm] love.
[B] When I go to sleep at night, [A] you're the only one I'm [Bm] dreaming of.
[E] [B]
[Bm] This little piggy ate a pizza.
This piggy ate potato chips.
This little piggy's going over to your house to nibble on your sweet lips.
[E] Cause I'm [A] a hog for you, baby, can't get enough of your [Bm] love.
[B] When I go to sleep at night, [A] you're the only one I'm [A] dreaming [Bm] of.
You [B]
[G] can see that [F] Bob Dylan learned a lot from Lemur and [Bm] Stowaway as far as lyrics are concerned.
Anyway, when [E] we play lead on top of this [G] tune, you're in E, so you're still going to do this blues box up at the 12th fret.
But I'm going to introduce a new element here.
I'm going to give you a little extension of this blues box, which is the second blues box that grows out of it.
If you slide up with your ring finger on the second [Em] string to this note here, which is to duplicate this note, which is your key note, that's an E note here.
Then you're in shape for this second blues [D] box, and you're going to use these notes here.
[Gm] And all these couple of boxes are both charted out in the written material that comes with this video.
But for now, you should know that you're going to bend strings.
[Eb] [D] And you can slide back down to the first blues box on your third string.
[Em] [A] [A]
[E] So when I play lead for I'm a Hog for You Baby, I'm going to be going back and forth between the first and second blues positions quite a lot.
[Bm] [E]
